Kidney Health Matters: A Policy Imperative for Economic Resilience
ISN
In collaboration with Devex, the ISN is hosting the event, "Kidney Health Matters: A Policy Imperative for Economic Resilience," on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. (CEST) in Geneva. Global leaders will discuss the economic and public health impact of kidney disease at the event, further driving support for the WHO kidney health resolution.
The event will feature high-level keynote speakers representing the WHO, alongside healthcare providers, patient advocates, industry representatives, and delegates from Ministries of Health in countries such as Guatemala, Thailand, Somalia, and (to be confirmed) Spain.
The discussion will emphasize the economic case for early detection, kidney care integration into Universal Health Coverage (UHC), and the need for global policy action. The event will be live-streamed.
